Manchester United are reportedly weighing up appointing Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti on a short-term deal if they fail with an approach for Mauricio Pochettino.
United's search for a new permanent manager has begun, with Pochettino and Ajax boss Erik Ten Hag the leading names in the frame to succeed Ralf Rangnick in the Old Trafford hot-seat.
Landing Pochettino would appear to be the ideal choice for United chiefs, but prising the Argentine away from Paris Saint-Germain this summer could prove tricky.
